I'm stil a 'fan' of alan mcgee hence why I like reading his rants - this one is fantastically vitriolic -

ROBBIE WILLIAMS IS FUCKING RUBBISH.GREAT SPIN EMI HE'S AN "ALL ROUND ENTERTAINER''. HE'S AN ALL ROUND CRAP DANCER THAT SINGS BADLY.HE TRULY IS THE NEW CLIFF RICHARDS FOR OUR GENERATION. HE WAS RUBBISH IN TAKE THAT WHO WERE SEROUSLY FUCKING DIAHOREA AND HE'S ACTUALLY UNBELIEVABLY WORSE SOLO. NO WONDER THE YANKS DON'T WANT HIM NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY ALAIN LEVY THROWS AT IT THEY WERE ALMOST GIVING THE LAST CD AWAY FOR FREE IN THE STATES AND STILL NOBODY WANTED ONE. TO THEM HE'S JUST A SHIT VERSION OF CLIFF AND THEY THOUGHT CLIFF WAS A BAD ELVIS PRESLEY WHICH HE WAS. I ACTUALLY DESPAIR WHEN PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT MUSIC TALK ABOUT HIM WITH ANY SUBSTANCE OR IN THE SAME BREATH AS MICHAEL JACKSON OR ELTON JOHN.THESE PEOPLE ARE ACTUAL BRILLIANT MUSICAL TALENTS.WORLD CLASS TALENTS. I REMEMBER ROBBIE HANGING AROUND THE OASIS CARAVAN AT GLASTONBURY IN 95.HE NEVER REALLY WENT AWAY AFTER THAT IN OUR LIVES. NO WONDER PEOPLE AT MAJORS END UP BEING ABOUT THE MONEY ONLY.THEY HAVE TO WORK SHIT LIKE ROBBIE WILLIAMS.I ALMOST FEEL FOR THEM BUT SORRY I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR THEM THEY HAVE A CHOICE AND THEY CHOSE THE MONEY SHOT TO ME ROBBIE WILLIAMS IS A CRIME AGAINST MUSIC. IT'S PEOPLE LIKE WILLIAMS THAT ARE DESTROYING BRITISH POP CULTURE HE HAS 1% OF JAGGERS TALENT. HE'S THE POST 9/11 FEEL GOOD FACTOR.HE DOSEN'T MEAN ANYTHING HE'S FUCKING VACANT. IF ROBBIE WILLIAMS IS SUCESS IN 2006 THEN GIVE ME ANY UNSIGNED BAND IN A GARAGE ANYDAY OF THE WEEK.THEY WILL LOVE MUSIC AND MOST IMPORTANTLY NOT HAVE BEEN MEMBERS IN TAKE THAT 10 YEARS AGO GOD THEY WERE AWFUL WHAT A FUCKING ATROCITY OF A BAND. ROBBIE WILLIAMS IS MUSIC FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T FUCKING FEEL UNLESS YOU WORK FOR EMI THEN HE'S THE PAYMENT ON THE MORTGAGE..MCGEE
